## Setting up your Axies

When you start, you need to first sync your Axies from your account into the game and create a team to be able to play the game. Here are the steps to do so:

In this interface, you will have to set up the position of your Axies depending on how you want to play them, this was explained on the Axie Teams Page here:

By positioning your Axie this way, you can easily predict which enemy your Axie will attack or receive damage from, in PVE & PVP. 

**After setting up the position & naming your Axie team, you can now press Save and start playing the game**.
